    The word "egregious" means extremely bad or shocking. It is the only word among the options that matches the given definition.

    Excessively worshipping one object or person

    • Idolatrous

    A. Idolatrous
    Explanation
    The word "idolatrous" refers to the act of excessively worshipping one object or person. It is often associated with the worship of idols or false gods, which goes against religious beliefs that promote the worship of a single deity. This term can also be used metaphorically to describe someone who idolizes or adores someone or something to an extreme degree.

    Humiliating, disgracing 

    • Ignoble

    Correct Answer
    A. Ignominious
    Explanation
    The word "ignominious" is the correct answer because it means causing public disgrace or shame. It is synonymous with "humiliating" and "disgracing." "Ignoble" means not honorable or noble, which is not the same as causing disgrace. "Ignorant" means lacking knowledge or awareness and is unrelated to the given words. Therefore, "ignominious" is the most suitable choice.

    An agreement

    • Acquiesce

    • Accord

    Explanation
    Accord is the correct answer because it means a formal agreement or harmony between people or groups. It implies that both parties have reached a mutual understanding and have come to an agreement. Acquiesce means to accept something reluctantly but without protest, which does not convey the same sense of a formal agreement. Acknowledge means to recognize or admit the existence or truth of something, which is not the same as reaching an agreement.

    The correct answer is "emaciated." This word is used to describe someone who appears very thin and weak due to lack of nourishment or illness. It suggests a state of extreme thinness and physical weakness. The other options, "emacipated" and "emitic," are misspellings and do not have any relevant meaning in this context.

    Shifting in character, inconstant

    Explanation
    The word "fickle" means shifting in character and inconstant. It implies that someone is not reliable or consistent in their behavior or decisions. This term accurately describes someone who is constantly changing their mind or opinions, making it difficult to predict their actions or rely on them. "Finite" means having limits or bounds, and "fatuous" means foolish or silly. While these words may have some overlapping meanings with "fickle," they do not capture the exact sense of inconsistency and unpredictability that "fickle" conveys.

    • Fatuous

    • Flautlent

    • Fradulent

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "fatuous." Fatuous means silly or foolish. It is a suitable synonym for the words "silly" and "foolish" given in the question. The other options, "flauntlent" and "fraudulent," do not have the same meaning as the words provided in the question.

    Calumny refers to the act of spreading false and damaging statements about someone with the intention of harming their reputation. This explanation aligns with the given statement of "an attempt to spoil someone else's reputation by spreading rumors." Catastrophe and carp do not relate to the concept of spreading false rumors about someone, making calumny the correct answer.

    • Abnegation

In the context of the given options, abnegation aligns most closely with the concept of denying comfort oneself. It implies a deliberate choice to forgo personal comfort or satisfaction for various reasons, such as self-discipline, sacrifice, or dedication to a cause.

    Brotherhood, jovial unity

    • Commodore

    • Comrade

    • Camaraderie

    Correct Answer
    A. Camaraderie
    Explanation
    Camaraderie is the correct answer because it means a feeling of brotherhood and jovial unity among a group of people. It perfectly matches the given description of "brotherhood, jovial unity." Commodore and comrade do not convey the same meaning as camaraderie, so they are not the correct answers.
